I use this head with my short Spey rod during deep wade fishing. The shorter head fits well and keeps the D-loop stable. The high contrast sighter helps me adjust the overhang quickly and accurately. Great for steelhead in clear water.

Felt like a natural match for my 450 grain rod. The braided core is durable and the head stays in place even in moving water. Slightly shorter than the standard version, which works well when I’m wading in deep pools.

Perfect for targeting salmon in rivers with rocky bottoms. The sink tip compatibility and clear sighter make it easy to control the line. I’ve used it in multiple seasons and it holds up well under pressure.
